Trump Bans Univision From Doral Property After Falling Out
Friday, 26 Jun 2015 04:58 PM
An increasingly bitter feud is escalating between Spanish-language media titan Univision and GOP presidential contender Donald Trump, with the real estate billionaire slapping a ban on duffers from the TV network from stepping onto the golf courses at Trump National Doral in South Florida.
"Dear Randy," Trump writes in a letter to the CEO/President of Univision Communications Inc., Randy Flaco, on Friday, Fox News reports. "Please be advised that under no circumstances is any officer or representative of Univision allowed to use Trump National Doral, Miami – its golf courses or any of its facilities."
Trump also declared he was going to seal the border between the Trump greens and Univision's office nearby.
"Also, please immediately stop work and close the gate which is being constructed between our respective properties," Trump wrote. "If this is not done within one week, we will close it."
In a postscript he adds:
"Please congratulate your Mexican government officials for having made such outstanding trade deals with the United States. However, inform them that should I become president, those days are over. We are bringing jobs back to the U.S. Also, a meaningful border will be immediately created, not the laughingstock that currently exists."
Shortly after the letter was revealed, aUnivision spokesperson told Politico's On Media blog its staffers have been banned from staying at any Trump properties "while on company business," and from holding events or activities there.
The acrimony began with Univision's announcement it would cut ties with Trump's Miss Universe Organization and won't air its planned Miss USA simulcast — in protest for remarks Trump made about Mexico in his presidential candidacy announcement — and Trump's retaliatory vow he'd sue for breach of contract.
They're also battling on the social media front, with one Univision president posting a picture comparing Trump to Charleston, S.C., race-hate shooter Dylann Roof, the Washington Free Beacon reports.
The executive later apologized, a mea culpa Trump refused to accept, Fox News reports.
On Friday, Trump also posted on Instagram a hand-written letter apparently from Univision's top anchor, Jorge Ramos, asking to interview Trump, which included Ramos' personal cell phone number, Fox reports.
